Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) Permissions

Dec 21, 2015

You can use role-based access control (RBAC) to create custom roles in Device Manager, beyond the default roles. Custom roles grant permissions to user accounts to target specific functionality within Device Manager.

For example, you can create roles to allow the following capabilities:

  • To give limited access to devices for administrators whom you want to only perform basic device operations and run reports. After the administrator logs on to Device Manager, only the Devices and Reports tabs appear. When a user only has Report rights, then the Device tab will not appear for that user, but the About tab will display, The About tab also will by default display for users who have no other rights at all.
  • To allow an administrator to view, add, locate, edit, and lock a device.

You can associate both user and groups with roles. For example, if you import Active Directory groups into Device Manager, you can apply fine-grained access control to the Active Directory groups.

The following table describes the list of features and accessibility you can associate with a role:
